the flip tails were the first red worms I used. Wish I had some now. Also the Cordell Pencil Worms. They were very good.

I remember running out of 12" worms just as I was headed out one evening several years ago.

Took 2 8" Larew's, cut of the tail end of one and super-glued each end inside of a small piece of some clear rubber tubing I had on the dock from an old siphon hose.

On the first one I made, I accidentally left a small gap between the 2 ends inside of the tube, which apparently held air, and that lifted the worm up slightly above the cone weight as it lay on the bottom.

So, I made 2 or 3 more the right way.

After I lost the first worm on a snag, I put on the flawed one, and you guessed it! Caught a big ole big un right off the point in front of Schooner Creek Resort Dock.

This has been a very entertaining and productive topic.

JERRY ----- I used that pencil worm down at Clearwater. I think Red Sandguff was the guy down there loved them.

We are coming down for the big holiday weekend and will be fishing at night. Not very experienced with that. Should I make Black, Black & _____, or ?????

Thanks for the help, guys

Black with any color is good at night. Also a fan of purple at night.

Flip tails were reintroduced again a year or two ago. Saw them in my Bass Pro catalog.
